NOTE G - Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 of 32.6% increased from 30.0% in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of U.S. tax law changes enacted on January 2, 2013 that had a favorable tax effect for R&D and undistributed foreign finance income in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, there was a higher proportion of income generated in higher taxed jurisdictions in 2014 as compared to 2013.
